For the Reporter
Baldwin Chiropractic, a Kent business at 10700 SE 208th St., recently donated a check for $1,100 to KentHOPE, a community organization whose goal is to open a day center and shelter for people experiencing homelessness in Kent.
For the second year, Baldwin Chiropractic has donated $20 for every new patient who comes in during its charity drive.
“Last year we donated to the Salvation Army, but we wanted to do something even more local this year,” said Dr. Courtney Bostjancic, daughter of Dr. Garry Baldwin who started the practice in 1986. “We like the idea of giving back to our community.”
The check was accepted by Chris Gough, of Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission and the pastor who married Drs. Courtney and Mike Bostjancic, on behalf of KentHOPE.
Union Gospel Mission is partnering with KentHOPE to establish the day center and shelter in Kent.
“KentHOPE is a community organization – of, by and for the community – and these funds will make a huge difference in the homeless community of Kent,” said Pat Gray, executive committee chair of KentHOPE, expressing her thanks for the generous donation.
